I went for Bonobo, one of my favorite acts and LOVED the opening act El Ten Eleven. They KILLED it. That drummer has so much tenacity and the whole orchestration of their songs was enthralling!! I will be buying their work and coming back in Dec when they headline at the same venue, the El Rey.
Bonobo was great but I found some of the newer picks to be some of the slower choices, or downtempo. I was hoping to get my groove on a little more but they rocked regardless.

Amazing concert, both the opening bad and Bonobo were SO awesome live. The venue The El Rey is great, very hollywood with a fun vibe, cool interior and great acoustics, but it's all standing, no seating (I don't recommend heels or uncomfortable shoes for the ladies, you'll be on your feed all night!)
They started the show a lot later than expected - I wish Ticketmaster would put the time the show starts on the tickets, as well as when the doors open. For a Sunday night (work night) it would have been nice to know the show would go till after midnight.

Bonobo and his musicians and singer absolutely delivered an unbelievably memorable show. Top performance!!. I've been waiting for him to come back to LA for a while and I was not disappointed, well worth the wait and can't wait to see him when he comes back. I'M A HUGE FAN OF Bonobo, hooked on his music from the first time I heard him.

Bonobo at the Fonda Theatre was one of the best shows that I have seen in a long time. Simon Green is at the peak of his talent and his crew weaves his electronic groove with classical instruments effortlessly.
Hope that they will play LA again soon.

This was an absolutely amazing show. The musicians were all spot on. At any given time there were 9+ people on stage playing violins, trumpet, drums, trombone, saxophone, flute, obo, and always a DJ... El Ten Eleven was the greatest opening band I can imagine - bar none. Just. Wow.

For me, 'Shigeto' stole the show. He was AMAZING!!! Don't get me wrong, 'Bonobo' were great, very entertaining, but 'Shitegos' sound, execution & sheer passion for what he does was infectious & electrified the venue.
The sound system reverberated in my body for days. Occasionally the treble distorted alittle & the bass almost strangled my throat & compressed my stomach but that might be because I was so close to the stage, I don't know.
All in all, it was a great night out. Very very friendly people & not too crowded, I'd definitely recommend this to friends, in fact, I already have.

So I had REALLY high expectations of this gig as a pretty big fan, but all of them were blown out of the water tbh. It was simply put a great, tightly performed, intimate awesome gig and I can't wait to see it again in NYC later in the year.
If you get a chance, just go, revel and enjoy!!!!

The HoB is a great venue, and Bonobo (with the band in tow) was amazing as usual. The opening act was a great surprise and new find for me. I hadn't been to the HoB for a show before, and was worried the space would be a bit cramped, but there was enough room, plenty of drinks, and an orderly crowd. The best part is when the lights on stage synced to t he music. Pure magic.

Reality changed for a while, and I was completely sober. Bonobo has the ability to put sounds together that transcend anything anyone hears in our day to day experiences, and it's wonderful to be able to hear that live. That is all.

Bonobo: I flew from NC to Boston for the opportunity to see Bonobo with a full live band. DJ Sets are just not my thing...but seeing Bonobo live with a band has been on the "to do" list for years and I have some friends that live in Boston...perfect. Needless to say, I'm extremely glad I made the trip. The musicians on stage were a force and the light show was fantastic. The experience was more amped up than the"Live @ Koko" DVD but it still had a lot of the jazziness and improvisation. Well done!!! About the only negative was not having a string section, but I was still very impressed at the great musicians and production on stage for such a modest ticket price.
Opening Act - Nickodemus: A DJ set...Just not my thing. I don't get why I'm going to look at some guy on a stage bobbing his head while staring at a computer screen and tweaking a few knobs every now and then. Some people were into it though...to each their own.
Venue - Paradise Rock Club: I was very impressed by the venue. It's very wide, but not very deep (maybe 20 rows). As such, there's virtually no bad view in the place. The sound at the center of the venue was fantastic. The sound on the sides was also good. Even though the vocals and sax were a little low when on the sides, I was impressed that it was not too boomy/muddy. Beers and mixed drinks were very reasonable for a music venue in Boston...and mixed drinks weren't watered down.
